AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Ryder (R)

Ryder Q3 revenue rises 8% to $3.2 billion as EPS falls to $3.25 from $3.44

Mixed Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

Ryder reported third-quarter 2024 results for the three months ended September 30, with total revenue up 8% to $3.2 billion while GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations fell to $3.25 from $3.44. The company reaffirmed its full-year 2024 comparable EPS forecast of $11.90 to $12.10, citing weaker rental and used vehicle markets that offset higher earnings in its contractual businesses. For shareholders, revenue growth came with lower per-share profit, and the full-year outlook was held rather than changed.

Key points

  • GAAP EPS from continuing operations was $3.25 versus $3.44 a year earlier; comparable EPS was $3.44 versus $3.58.
  • Total revenue was $3.2 billion versus $2.9 billion; operating revenue (non-GAAP) rose 9% to $2.6 billion, reflecting recent acquisitions.
  • Fleet Management Solutions earnings before tax fell 22% to $132 million on weaker rental demand and lower used vehicle gains.
  • Full-year 2024 comparable EPS of $11.90 to $12.10 was reaffirmed; fourth-quarter comparable EPS is forecast at $3.32 to $3.52.
